Hi Mary,

your cell is format as hour, when you type 8 excel looks at Jan 8, 1900
12:00am, you can type 08:00 or format the cell as general

I have a time table that I enter what time I come to work and what time I
leave. I didn't program it to add the total but when I put in total hours
worked "8" it puts in 0:00. When I double click to see if there is a setting
I get this 1/8/1900 12:00:00 AM I have tried to delete this but it still
shows up. What can I do to correct this problem? Thank you
